Nintendo Entertainment System Oddities
25 years ago, the blockbuster console hit the US for the first time. And the country's been a little stranger ever since.Posted by Benj Edwards | Monday, October 18, 2010
Now You’re Sleeping with Power
Earlier this year, Instructables user rpaxton and her mother decided to make a new bedding set for her brother as a birthday gift. The result makes a standard full-sized bed look like a NES to great effect. The NES bed: where you are the cartridge. You can find more photos of this clever creation on its Instructables page.

How about a ONE PAGE article (instead of 14 pages) ?

cause his advertisers pay less.
this is the state of "tech media"
there are worse ones though, like when engadget theme's there entire page like a zune or android, because whatever company there skinning has literally bought there souls.

you forgot the rock 'n roller, my favorite skate or die accessory 🙂

the only thing worse than this being a multipage article, is the deletion of comments about how this should not be a multipage article.

Just wanted to post my work at a nintendo PC. I don't think I was the first to attempt this, but …

Thanks for another great retrospective Harry.
As for the multiple pages, at least he provides direct links to all pages from the first one (unlike some sites). That allows you to middle click all the links, then just close a tab as you read each page.
Not as nice as all on one page, but its really not so bad.

This is a good post. 1 page would suffice. I remember when I got a nintendo back when I was 9 and it just came out. Amazing how far these systems have come, but I still love the nintendo games!!! Zelda was my favorite. I might play it again when my kids grow and I have time. But fun times!!!!!!!!

Oh My, what kinda sick parents went out and bought a 'Homework First'. Well, mine would have if they knew it existed. We spent/invested/wasted so many of our early teens playing games like RC Racer.
